There are students in middle and high
school who have artistic talents that are fantastic. More often than
not Parents will say to them one day "you have to get a real
job". I would venture to say that the great majority of these art
prodigies will never develop or use their talent. This web site is designed to help those students (who have art skills) discover, grow and share those skills. This site is designed to show students how they can use art to make money! Art skills are marketable skills. click on all the links on the left and see how. My team is available to do presentations for schools and organizations. Our goal is to encourage those students to have a passion for art to "follow that dream". we encourage them to keep developing their skill even if they have to take a mundane job. We will show them "how to make money using their skill(s). We can show them examples of art paraphernalia that actually brought in thousands of dollars. We want them to know "YES THEY CAN" |
